It's unusual for a series, beyond simply telling a story, to challenge the viewer regarding the conventions it uses to tell it. This is the case with... MeetingA magnificent BBC drama that you can find on Filmin. It's a thriller A five-episode series set in an everyday context. Daniel Brennan, a deaf father, is released from prison after serving time for the murder of a close friend, a teacher who worked to promote the inclusion of deaf people. No one knows the reasons that led to this tragic situation. Brennan tries to rebuild his relationship with his daughter, but the rejection he faces from those around him forces him to confront a past that haunts him.

Angela and Hector have created an almost perfect world. Their love is a shell of affection and trust that makes them invincible, or so it seems until motherhood endangers this bubble of happiness. The story sounds familiar, almost universal, but director Eva Libertad adds a component that changes everything: Angela is deaf and Hector is not. The Catalan production Deaf, which premieres this Saturday in the Panorama section of the Berlinale, takes as its reference the point of view of Ángela, who is played with absolute dedication by Miriam Garlo, the director's sister and the first deaf actress to star in a film in Spain. "Society does not educate us to relate to difference or disability," says Libertad. "If I know anything about deafness it is because Miriam is my sister. It is as if, without knowing it, we had been preparing all our lives to make this film."
